She has a better chance of not being slowed down than Wade
What’s cool about the suit’s special fireproof ability is how it sets Ali up to be a more effective Deadpool. While she shares her father’s healing factor, the pain is still there, so she is vulnerable to being slowed down by her enemies. By making her suit completely invulnerable to fire, She can blast through explosive battlefields without worrying about singes and burns. However, this does not necessarily mean that Ellie is completely invulnerable, as shown when a laser blast tears through her sleeve and scrapes her arm.

Along with the fireproof tech, Ellie also quickly discovers that her father has also given her a set of daggers. While Wade specifically mentions that they are not lethal, They are electrically charged to suffocate anyone she touches them with. The daggers perfectly position Ellie as not just a daughter following in her father’s footsteps. Instead, she is a completely new version of Deadpool with less focus on killing.
